Patient's question:
Does it really not affect anything? I just want to practice my chest muscles, and my biceps and triceps have become much larger, but my height hasn't changed. I'm still 160cm and I think it's because of muscle training that I haven't grown taller. I'm mainly asking, will just training upper body muscles affect my height? My chest muscles and biceps and triceps have become much larger, but, my height hasn't changed. After a year, I'm still 160cm and I still think it's because of muscle training that I haven't grown taller.Doctor's answer:
Exercising muscles will never affect height.1. You can do balance exercises, which are helpful for growing taller.
2. You can do calisthenics or aerobics, which can help you maintain a healthy physique and also contribute to height growth.
3. Enhance nutrition to ensure your body gets all the nutrients needed for growth and development. Consider supplements like spirulina and calcium.
4. Always maintain a positive mood, cultivate an open-minded, optimistic attitude and personality, and maintain a regular lifestyle with consistent eating and sleeping habits. Ensure sufficient deep sleep, enhance physical exercise, run in the morning and walk in the evening. Avoid spicy, greasy, fried, extremely cold, hard, hot, salty, or sour foods. Do not overeat; aim for an 80% fullness level. Increase the intake of dairy products, eggs, and lean meats in your diet.
